I To all whom it may concern: 1

Beit known that LrORA J.1HEATH, a citizenofytheUnited States, residing at Springfield, in the county of Clark and State of:

Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in W'indow-Fixtures, of whichthe followingis a specification, reference being' had to the accompanying drawings. l

Thisinvention relates to new and useful improvements in window fixtures and more particularly to a combined curtain pole and shade roller support; 1 1 j 1 "The main object of the present invention is the provision. of a device of the above character wherein the shade roller and the curtain pole are so mounted thatthey may 1 be relatively adjusted vertical 'Wltl'l respect 1 to. each "other so that either theshade roller or the curtain pole supporting member may be adjusted independently ofeach other.

Anothercbject of the present invention is V to provide an adjustable combined support of the above character which canbe. quickly and readily secured to a window casing or removed therefrom. 1; 11 l 1 A further object oftheinvention is the provision of a device of the above character which will possess advantages in points of efficiency and durability, iszinexpensive to manufacture and at the same time is simple in construction and operation.

With the above and otherobjects in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction and the combination and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, pointed out in the claims and shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of a com v bination bracket constructed in accordance with my lnventlon; Fig. 2 1s a front elevation; Flg. 3 1s a transverse sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1; and

Fig. 4 is a detail elevation of the supporting member opposite to that illustrated in Fig. 1.

In carrying out my invention, I provide a substantially U-shaped bracket 1 which is to be formed of sheet metal preferably of brass,

Formed on the lowermost end of the bracket is an outwardly projecting perforated flange 13 which is secured to the outer face of the window casing by means of a screw, as indi- :cated at 4. It will be understood that any lsuitable fastening means may be used other .j than the screw illustrated in thea'ccompany- 'ingdrawings11 1- l 1 1 1 The bracket lforms the main support for my device and one of the brackets isto be arranged upon each side of the window and mounted. within the bodyof the bracket and adapted 1 for lateral. adjustment is an up right supporting member 5;One of the supporting members?) is provided with a plurality of spaced circular openings 6 having elongated recesses 7 communicating therewith which are adapted to'receive one of the spindles of the shade roller 8, the other of said supporting members is provided with a plurality of spacedcircular openings 9 adapted to receive the other spindle of the roller 8 andis adapted torotate 1 within said openings. The upper and lower end portions of thebracket 1 are provided with elongated slots 10 in which the bolts 11 are movable. The bolts 11 are carried by theoutwardly projecting flanges 12 ofthe supporting members 5 and are adapted to project out through the slots 10. Winged nuts 13 are threaded upon the outer ends of the bolts 11 and are adapted for frictional engagement with the end portions of the bracket 1 to securely retain the supporting members 5 in various adjusted positions with respect to the window casing.

It will be noted that by having the spaced supporting members 5 provided with the openings 6 and 9, the shade roller 8 may be vertically adjusted and arranged to any desired height and it may also be adjusted laterally with respect to the window casing. The body portion of the bracket 1 is provided with an elongated slot 14 in which is adapted to work the bolt 15. the bolt 15 and adapted to be adjusted vortically with respect to the bracket 1 is the curtain pole support 16, said support being adjusted vertically with respect to the bracket land retained in any desired position by means of the winged nut 17 which is threaded upon the bolt 15 and is adapted to tighten thevertical portion of the curtain support against the bracket 1 so as to se curely retainthe same in various adjusted positions.

Mounted upon lhe curtain pole support comprises. an

arcuate body portion formed of flat sheet Stically projecting supporting member 18 whichismounted upon the outer endofthe boltv15 foradjustment and is to be securely held in various adjustedpositions by means of the nut 17 From this it will be apparent that the curtain pole supportingv'member may be adjusted to any relative position With respect to the bracket 1 and securely held in such position. From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will :be readily ap-I parent that I- have provided a simple and durable device of the above character which"v can be quicklyand readily secured-to the window casing or removed therefrom and wherein the shade roller andlzthe curtain pole support may be readilyadjusted ver-- tically withf respect tohthe supporting bracket. ItL-will alsoibe apparent that my improved device is extremely simple in construction and can be manufactured and, placeduponthe market at a comparatively small vcost. 1 l While::I have shown and described the preferred ffor'm of my invention, it Will be obviousthatvarious changes in the details of construction andrin the proportions may belresorteduto for. successfully carryin my invention into practice without sacrificing any offthe novel features or departing from the sca e-0f the appended: claims. I,

l/Vhat I claim is z- 1; A device of the class described including a substantially U-shaped bracket, having a a spurimembcr at one. end and an outwardly projecting perforated flange at the other end, a supporting member adj ustably mount ed within the bracket and a second support- 1 ing member adjustably mounted'upon thebody'of the bracket.

2. A device of the class describedincluding a U-shaped bracket having an elongated slot formed in the end portions thereof, a supporting member h'aving outwardly projecting' perforated flanges and adjusting bolts carried by said flanges and adapted to be movably arranged within said slots, as and forthe. purpose set forth. I g

' 3. A device of the class described including a U-shaped bracket having an elongated slot formed in the end portions thereof, a

" supporting member having outwardly pro- :jectingperforated i flang'es and adjusting bolts carriedv bysaid flanges and. adapted to, be mov'ably arranged 'W-ithinsaid slots, said isupporting member being provided with lsuitable'bearings forithe spindles of a shade' ljrollerand a second supporting'member'ad-y gjustably mounted Lupon; thebody: ofthe bracket. a v p l 4. A device of 'the'class describeddnclud jing a U-shaped bracket having its ends're-i unovably secured to-a Window casin'gfiand lhaving its body portion-provided. with lvertically disposed elongated slot, 3a: curtain pole supporting member, and afl'bo1t ca'rriied by said supporting member and T adapted to be adjust ably disposed. within said slot, as i 'and'for the purpose set forth. a

51 A device of the class describedinclud :ing a U -shaped bracket-having: its ends removably secured to the: window Ecasing, said. end portions havingzelongated: slots therein, supporting members having outwardly pro-n jecting flanges; bolts I carried thereby and, adjustably arranged; within said slots, the I body portion of said bracket "being provided with an elongated "slot,-La curtain'p'ole supporting member, a bolt carried :thereby, and adj ustably mounted withinsaidslot; asand for the purpose set forth.) 1 3- a v.
